I mean - who would want to go and see a re-formed Cast play? They weren't massive back in the mid-90s, they weren't particularly critically acclaimed, as far as I'm aware they don't have a loyal fanbase (like, say, Ocean Colour Scene attained)... I don't get it.

OCS (as their fans probably don't call them) have carved a little retro-rock niche and will be able to get by on tour proceeds and t-shirt sales for a while. (much like, say, marillion). but cast? wtf?

"They are perhaps best known for the songs "Rainbow Zephyr" and "You I'm Thinking Of", from their debut album, "Wildflowers". The former (a big Irish radio hit in its own right) was covered by Westlife with slightly changed lyrics and released as a single "Hey Whatever", while the latter reached #8 in the Irish singles charts."
